Photo Gallery

When Windows XP boots, it begins to install Photo Gallery, which it can't
find. What is this and how can I turn it off?

Thanks!
Ann

Hi Ann,

Click Start, Run, then type in msconfig

Go to the Startup Tab and look there for the Photo Gallery
Installation then uncheck it.

Thanks for your reply, Ron. I tried that but didn't know which item it was.
There appear to be only 2 items that are "Windows" items in the start menu --
Is it "tfswctrl"?

Look very close at each entry and see if any mention of Photo Gallery is
there.
Had you tried to install some type of Photo program that did not finish the
installation ?
If so you could try to reinstall it again.

Ron, I am having exactly the same issue on my computer. I upgraded XP Home
to XP Pro and now windows tries to install photo gallery and is "looking for
the installation files". It doesn't seem to affect performance at all, but
it is annoying to have to cancel the installation every time I boot the
computer. I looked through the startup in MSCONFIG and wasn't able to find
anything remotely like photo gallery. Any suggestions?
